Have a very bad feeling about this one... But it's one we have to get if we have a shot at rebounding the season and being involved in the Big Ten regular season.

IU 85 Rutgers 65 If they score more than this on us it will be embarrassing, they are that bad on Offense, Even our defense should shut them down.

How does this work? Each week I will create Prediction League threads for the weeks game(s). It's a simple concept: Each week you start with 100 points (only if a prediction is made, otherwise 0 points for the week) +25 PTs if you guess the winner -25 PTs if you pick the loser +10 PTs if guess IU score correctly +10 PTs if guess Opponent score correct -The # of points different between the actual and predicted score of IU (over/under doesn't matter) -The # of points different between the actual and predicted score of opponent (over/under doesn't matter) *** Reminder if you post a prediction and want to change it, please just POST a NEW Prediction, do not edit a prior post as I may miss those edits. The person with the most points (MINUS 2 LOWEST GAMES) at the end of the season wins.

Game is today... and is at Home.... But Maybe that was the point... that you don't follow enough anymore to even know... ;)

Can't predict against us... We should win (neutral) by 7... Factor in 5 for home Court IU - 75 Mary - 73

Yea I just don't know if I can predict a loss on paper (or the internet) and have it in writing, just doesn't sit well with me. Although last night I did take Wisconsin in a bet with my wife and got a very nice massage out of our loss LOL.

Just out of curiosity.... On this Board? Boosters? Administration? Sources?

IU - 83 Illinois - 70

My refusal to predict a loss (even in games I am quite confident we will lose) is costing me in this thing... quickly falling down the ladder.

I was feeling like this was the year we would beat them, then we lost to Nebraska at home and I absolutely knew we would win this game because no way we lose 2 in a row at home.... then we looked horrible in the loss to UofL and now I am more worried than I have ever been this season... a loss tonight deservedly knocks us out of the Top 25, and puts us in a big hole for the Big Ten slate....

I have thought all season that he is the unquestioned leader... the most important guy on our team.... The balance that he plays with... he doesn't have to be our best at any 1 thing but he is near the top on a lot of different things.

I can see all 5 lines in both posts (Same 5 lines basically)

It will be worse on Saturday.... we make no changes no matter what, we will contnually drive into the paint and be swatted back out by UofLs size....

Except Louisville lost at home last night too so they will be just as frustrated... and I can't imagine we will lose 2 straight home games.... I was nervous about the Wiscy game before but now I have a relaxed peace of mind....

Don't think we will lose 2 straight at home.... Close one down to the buzzer IU - 87 Wisky - 85
